Join panelists Sandy Giangreco Brown, LisaRae Roper and Julie Chicoine as they review the attorney client privilege process and what requirements must be in place to be able to protect facilities. The discussion will review what is protected and how the general counsel or attorney need to be involved with audits or investigations. Working with Corporate Counsel requires staff to be aware of the engagements which may be performed under the direction of the counsel and to ensure that they follow the appropriate protocol. We will review what needs to be followed and in place to support ACP audits and investigations to keep practices at the least risk possible.
